Sandra Franks
Sandra Juanita Franks was born in Lockhart, Texas, on Dec. 31, 1947, to the late Alvin Clint Wallace and Doris Norman Wallace. She attended public schools in Lockhart, Texas.
She was united in holy matrimony to Hiawatha Clinch Franks and to this sacred union three lovely children were born: Selina (Tony) Robertson, Hiawatha, Jr., and Derek.
Sweet memories of her will
live in the lives of her surviving sister, Patricia Knowles (Walter); three grandchildren, Natasha Plair (Demetrius), Sean Henderson and Alexandria Robertson, and three great-grandchildren. She also leaves behind a caring mother-in-law, Thelma L. Franks; and numerous sisters-in-laws, brothers-in-law, nieces, nephews, relatives and friends.
Her sister, Mary Elizabeth Gipson “Betty” also preceded her in death.
Sandra dedicated her life to her husband, family and friends. She touched many lives with her kind smile, warm spirit and always had positive words to share with whomever she met.

I’m sorry for your loss, but grateful for Mrs Saundra Franks moving on to a better place. I was watching the movie “Glory” and while reading the credits I noticed the name Saundra Franks. I hit Google and this info popped up. I’m hoping you’re family, but if you’re not I pray for you good health and God’s blessings just the same.
